John,<BR/><BR/>As in so many of our Churches, there was a crucifix upon the altar of the old Church, but I've not been able to locate what happened to it. It disappeared in the construction of the new Church in the 1930's. However, I am hoping that if we are able to fund opening the area behind the altar (it was walled off during the the parish's 150th anniversary - there is a complete apse behind the wall) that one of the things we can also address is putting a corpus upon the altar cross - it is made to be able to hold one (instead of our Lord's name - IHS). Our processional cross, which is hand made by one of our members, bears the Agnus Dei upon it.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-80475563735153022792008-02-01T07:55:00.000-06:002008-02-01T07:55:00.000-06:00I'm struck by what's there, but more so by what's ...I'm struck by what's there, but more so by what's not there--most notably the lack of a crucifix.

Except statues where your icons are on either side, the organ up front on the right. A door to the parish hall where your baptismal font is. And the hanging lamps are quite similar.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262662173303042998noreply@blogger.com
